a rule are not quite so long as the leaf blade, but may also 
exceed them in length. 
4°, A rhizome which fasciates. The specimen, kindly sent by 
Mr. W. J. D. van Annet, Soekaboemi, Java, has a width of 
more than one dM. at top and is strongly flattened. 
AMARYLLIDACEAE. 
Crinum giganteum Andr. et aliae species. 
Habitat South Africa. 
Coll. August 1895, December 1898. 
1°. Crinum sp. One large sepal, (fig. 13) below the two others 
disengaging itself from the tube, with its left edge only, just 
projects with both margins over the adjoining sepals. A petal 
is placed opposite the left half of this sepal (fig. 14) and in 
opposition to this petal we find two coalescing stamens (fig. 15), 
which are partly petaloid. There is nothing opposite the right 
half of the sepal in question. Consequently a petal and a stamen 
are wanting; whether the latter is antipetalous or antisepalous, 
cannot be decided. The style bears a white longitudinal wing. 
The other parts of the flower are normal. 
2". Cr. giganteum. In the first two flowers of an inflorescence 
the styles were abnormal. 
a) Style open, but longitudinally rolled up so as to form a 
cylinder of a diameter of 2 mM.; near the top the rolling up 
is incomplete, the top itself is faleate (fig. 16). The style 
extends only 16 mM. beyond the entrance of the flower against 
80 mM. in the normal flower. Apart from the faleate end the 
style is at top laid open though the margins are somewhat 
bent inward. 
6) In the main like the first, in this however the style is 
broken off at a distance of 18! mM. from the base, while 
the upper part having a length of 54 mM. has been carried 
along by the growing tube, the latter being too narrow for the 
upper part to pass through it; also this portion is rolled up 
and furnished with two internal ridges, one of them bearing
